Re: Getting things written I liked...

Re: Getting things written

I liked the story of how the writer implemented GTD. Although I do not think that this “system integration/customization phase” is only required for writers. I think for the system to really work for you and for you to enjoy it, you need to do the same kind of fine-tuning that Mr. Johnston has done.

You are such a tease. Read the headline expecting some reference to this Lunch 2.0 but no…

I see that you love Views (Drupal module). Have you tried it’s natural counterpart CCK. I highly recommend taking them for a spin together - it’s amazing how easily you can build the basics of a fairly complex custom web site.

The PoIC stack concept can be implemented in software. An existing calendar/to do/notes app already is a database with time and date stamp (tags may not be present). All one would have to do is add a 3x5 card design interface and display a stack of cards in the same way as this photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hawkexpress/189967397/in/set-72157594200490122/

I’d love to see an interface like that in software. Also, implementing this in software allows one to search.
